Basically Books February Newsletter


Dear Reader

As we wrap up the back-to-school season, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for making this our busiest and most successful start to the year yet! Your support and trust mean the world to us.

We acknowledge the ongoing supply chain delays that have affected some of your book deliveries. While we are actively working to fulfill outstanding backorders as soon as stock arrives at our offices, please note that the estimated delivery dates provided by publishers are subject to change.

  • Essential French Books: The publisher has confirmed that these books have been invoiced and are expected to arrive at our offices within the next five business days
  • Cambridge IGCSE & AS/A Level Exam Preparation Books: Some titles have estimated arrival dates ranging from February to April 2025, while a few still have no confirmed ETA. We will continue to provide updates as we receive them.
  • Other Cambridge & CAPS Titles: Several workbooks and teacher guides are expected to arrive between February and March 2025.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenges.

Some further updates

We’re excited to share that we currently have a second-hand book sale running on our website until 28 February! Get up to 75% off selected second-hand textbooks—this is a great opportunity to save on essential materials. Visit our website to browse available titles before the sale ends!

As we approach our annual stock take, please note that the quantities listed on our website may not always be accurate. Additionally, orders may take longer than our usual lead time of 3-7 working days to process.
We will provide further details in the coming week.

We deeply appreciate your patience, understanding, and patronage during this back-to-school season. We are always striving to improve our service and ensure that every student has access to the books they need.
